.@Starbucks Offers Social Justice, HIV Infected Needles frontpagemag.com/point/272504/s…
I don't see much social justice in ordinary Starbucks employees having to clean up the mess that former Attorney General Eric Holder helped inaugurate after the overpriced terrible coffee place's meltdown over accusations of racism.
“Starbucks is installing needle-disposal boxes in some bathrooms, as well as exploring other solutions to workers' concerns regarding improperly disposed-of syringes and related health risks.”
”More than 3,700 people signed a petition on Coworker.org calling for Starbucks to place needle-disposal boxes in high-risk bathrooms.”
“Starbucks workers report finding blood and needles in bathrooms, as well as being pricked by improperly disposed-of needles, risking exposure to HIV and hepatitis.”
In October, three Starbucks employees in Seattle told local news that they encountered hypodermic needles on the job nearly every day. They said they had to take antiviral medications to protect themselves from HIV and hepatitis.
This is what working for a social justice company looks like.
